I have been awake since 4 am (I went to the gym). So right now I have a headache, and my headache has a headache (basically having a “mush brain” moment). Lack of sleep and a hurting head still did not stop me from having a really cool experience. I went to a Peace Corp, application meeting. Why? I want to explore the world, make a difference, and reach people in a positive way. I listened to story after, story of just how life changing the experience was from people who lived it. As I sat listening I could envision myself doing exactly the same, As if that is not enough there are incentive such as cutting college tuition by half, assisting in present college debt, fast track for government job (or jobs anywhere in the world). It literally could set up my future. Not to mention you pay for nothing (and I mean NOTHING), while on the field. Here’s what I was reminded of as I sat and listened. God loves me. He really does. He knows my heart’s desire and has led me to something that suits my personality to a “T”. We forget that God wants to bless us (no I am not talking prosperity or riches). I mean He wants to BLESS us with exactly what it is we are created to do. I am not sure if this is the road He wants me to take, but lately in my life every thing that I have been introduced to or led to has been along these lines. Here’s another truth we all have a purpose, something we are made for. God loves us, and wants to get us there. All we have to do, is walk through the door.

” I mean He wants to BLESS us with exactly what it is we are created to do” amen
I found that one trip to a third-world country for ten days completely changed my life. I can’t imagine what God would do through months of being in the field! Go for it – it will “wreck” you for run-of-the-mill living forever!
